Personally, I believe that the 114060c is one of THE best Rolex models - versatile, understated, lacking Cyclops which I like, timeless, and looking great with both a T-Shirt, or suit for work. Perfection! The 14060 looks a little more tool' like to me, and thus not quite as smart...

Only my 2c's worth!

Both great watches.

I really think you have a point and make me starting to confuse again

I have a 6" wrist too and my 114060 doens't look out of place at all. In the real world out and about, it really doesn't look as big as it does in pictures. Love it - sturdy, durable, and well-built.

Tried on a pre-owned 14060m. Yes, the proportions are slightly better but it lacks the heft (and no glidelock!).

You will definitely find the proportions of the 5 digit sub much more suited to your smaller wrists.

I had both the 116613 and 116610 for a total of four months before selling them because I just couldn't pull off the maxi case. It just felt to "blocky" on my wrist.

I then tried on a 16610 and was surprised how different it wore. No regrets from me to the "down-grade".
Although I do prefer the ceramic bezel, and the glidelock, I think this watch is much better suited for my skinny wrist.

I agree. I think it looks fine. You have it sitting on the narrowest point on your arm in the photo. Is that where you actually wear your watches? I find that to be an unacceptable location as I kind of like having unimpeded wrist articulation.
